16. DISADVANTAGES
* Fracture of brackets
* Friction within bracket slots
* Tooth wear on bracket contact
1. BRACKET FAILURE
2. BULK OF THE BRACKETS

18. 3.COMPOSITE BRACKETS
A Composite is a multiphase material brought about by
combining materials that differ in composition /form to
obtain specific characteristics and properties. The
constituents retain their identities and properties.
Can be simplified as ‘dispersion of fillers(particles /fibres
/whiskers ) in a binder or matrix (metals /ceramics /resins)’.
Reinforcement of polymer with ceramic metals –most common
combination in ORTHODONTICS
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. COMPOSITION
COMPOSITE PRECURSOR
-Plasma treated high strength Polyethylene fibers
REINFORCED WITH
1.Glass
2.Mineral filler
3.Metal

23. MARSENOL:
E.T.E COATED NICKEL TITANIUM
It exhibits all the characteristics of NiTi . The coating is
adherent and is flexible,fracture resistant, delivers force
over long periods.
LEE WHITE:
STAINLESS STEEL NiTi bonded to EPOXY COATING
Coating is completely opaque, does not peel ,chip , stain
or discolor
www.indiandentalacademy.com

37. The invisible way to align teeth without braces,
using a series of clear removable aligners
INVISALIGN
Invisible,
Removable,
Comfortable.
Invisalign also allows a person to view his own virtual
treatment plan, he can see how his teeth will look when
the treatment is complete.
ADVANTAGES
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38. Invisalign is a high-volume, customized manufacturing
process by advanced computer technology
|
The Technology Behind Invisalign
Using advanced imaging technology, Invisalign
transforms the plaster models into a highly accurate 3-D
digital image.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. A computerized movie - called ClinCheck- depicting
the movement of the teeth from the beginning to the final
position is created .
From the approved ClinCheck file, Invisalign uses laser scanning to
make a customised set of aligners , sent to the clinician .

42. AUXILIARIES
Easy to tie ligatures Elastomeric modules
Rotation wedges

43. CONCLUSION
“An orthodontic patient smile is
no more a metallic smile”
It’s in our hands to keep in pace with the
